Description Dave Russo CLA 2010-05-26 01:01:04 EDT 
If plugingen fails, the exit status of xs is zero (rather than non-zero).  As a result, errors are not easily detectable in makefiles where this command is almost always used.

Like _all_ other ICmd commands, plugingen should use cmdr.error() to flag errors.
